hey guys, so i needed a longer ethernet cable as i shifted my pc and ps3 in my room. PC is fine as i have a wifi card for it but gaming on ps3 with wifi is just horrible. i had like 5 ethernet cables lying around, so i just stripped them and connected them together. so now, it works on my laptop but doesn't work on pc or ps3. Any help would be appreciated

Go buy a longer CAT5 cable and try it again. Twisted pair cables of any kind are not meant to be spliced together.
